Thanks for sharing this. I have been a typeII for 35 years and over the past 12 months have had similar symptoms. Also made to feel as if I am not being believed.

Hope you get to spend time in Singapore. Its an amazing place and Changi Airport is the best in the World. Even a stop over gives time to regroup and recharge .

I am long term (34 years ) type II. I travel on long haul flights yearly. Plan your flight times carefully. Overnight flights are best for me. Eat and take medication as usual prior to the flight and use the Airport lounges if you need a meal prior to boarding. Food is always better and...

About 12 months ago I was diagnosed with Charcot in my left foot. Now I am experiencing the same type of pain in the fourth and little finger of both hands. Had hands x rayed for possible breaks and given the all clear for that, but no further action by my GP. I am so frustrated at the lack...

I am having problems finding a suitable wallet to store my testing kit and insulin in so I can take it with me each day. The problem is everything I have seen is for insulin pens and I use Mixtard 30/70 Innolet pens which are shaped like a small clock and are quite big. Any suggestions on...

I am into day 6 of the challenge and having some problems with the recipes and the programme. For example the recipe for the black bean and avocado wrap filling then becomes the Tuna and Avocado wrap on day 2 with no mention of the addition of tuna except in the title and no indication on...

I recently posted a message about being diagnosed with Charcot. Well several consultations with Orthopaedics, Podiatrists and my Endo I am becoming very frustrated at the lack of support for me for this condition. After 6 months in a Cam Boot and being bedridden, I have suffered major muscle...

Yes Please

Thanks this information is so helpful. I have been given little information and been left in the dark about the future in terems of mobility. Always found this forum a great place for support and knowledge sharing.

Thank you Grant I am still in shock so hearing how someone else has coped gives me reason to be optimistic about my future.

oops, guess my Doctor and Allied health team need to learn how to spell. Its called that on all my recent health records.

Just shocked after a Dr's Appointment. Had broken bones in my foot for 8 months that have not healed. After numerous tests I have been diagnosed with Charcoal foot. I have read the article on this website but has anyone else been diagnosed with this? I am worried about how much this will...

While I agree that insulin levels rise because of illness, I dont agree with raising my insulin levels because of the high carb diet provided. I am hugely insulin resistant and have worked very hard to reduce my BGL's. An increase in insulin would set back my hard work and was not necessary...

I couldn't agree more. If I had followed advice my insulin levels would have been through the roof. I went form and average 5-6 to 14 on hospital food. Levels dropped within 12 hours when I went back to eating low carb.

I was recently admitted to hospital for 2 weeks. My BGLs rose dramatically and Dr wanted to increase my insulin. I knew that this was a result of the high carb diabetic menu but fought constantly with the medical staff over this, I was in hospital because of a broken bone not my diabetes...

Whilst I understand that fresh is best, I lead a very hectic lifestyle. I have reverted to meal prepping on Sundays so that I have easy access to meals for lunch and dinner through the week. I use a lot of the recipes from the various cookbooks on this site but some do not freeze well. I...

Thanks I will give your suggestions a try.
